I love trying new foods and it’s one of my favorite things about traveling. Moroccan food sounds tasty but if I were trying it for the first time I’d want to know the names of each dish and have it at the proper temperature (picky persnickety!). Hopefully the group you were with made the whole experience enjoyable anyway!

I have tried Moroccan food, although not extensively. I’ve had a nice chicken tangine. I love the spicy harissa sauce on couscous. I’ve read that harissa is more Algerian than Moroccan although it is making inroads into Morocco.

A monthly lunch group sounds like a great way to get out and try new restaurants. I like Middle Eastern food, and Penang has many restaurants serving it because of all the Middle Eastern tourists that come here. Too bad the food was neither hot or labeled. I think changing both of those would not be hard yet greatly improve the customer experience. Curried cauliflower sounds yummy.

In reply to Suzanne Fluhr. I'm always up for Middle Eastern fare. I love the flavors.

In reply to Irene S Levine. Hi Irene, We're a groups of boomer expats. Everyone is over 50. Loads of really young expats here, but can be hard to find expats over 50. Our group fills that void.

Lucky you to belong to a lunch group! This sounds like a restaurant worth trying, but given your comments I’ll go for dinner–if and when I ever make it to Seoul.

In reply to Marcia. Hi Marcia! We generally try one of the international restaurants when we go out. A lot of us eat Korean all week, so it's a nice break. See you Thursday!!

In reply to jan. Hi Jan, Korean food is always very hot. Part of that could be that a lot of it is cooked right at the table, or served in stone bowls, and again the cooking is finished at the table.

In reply to Kay Dougherty. Hi Kay, All of my experiences with Moroccan food have also been in other countries. I do believe this restaurant is run by Moroccans. I"m not a big buffet person either, and probably should have ordered from the menu. Next time I will!

You had my mouth-watering until you got to the part about the luke-warm food. However, I have noticed most of the time Greek food is served that way as they say it is the belief that it is better for your stomach and the taste of the food. . .go figure. I do love curry and cauliflower and have a great recipe for the dish that I will send you one of these days when I figure out how!
